Intro to Natural Hair

Introduction
I have spent many years relaxing my hair 3 times a year every 4 months, and finding that despite the beautiful sleek and straight, I seem to always need my ends trimmed, my hair remains to grow to about the same length, when I do apply heat to my hair at home it always looks dry and frizzy. And I occasionally run into the issue of not always finding a hair stylist who has experience or dealt with ethnic hair outside of using a doll’s head in cosmetology school whenever I live in less diverse areas. I also realized, when I have a hair stylist who does my hair well, I trust them to take care of it for me. As a mom, it is not a practical choice for me to go to the salon once a week or month, not just financially, but toting my little ones I take care of at home to a place where they cannot touch anything and must sit still for hours isn't really ideal. Right now my hair is relaxed and I am on a mission to get it back to a healthy state. And I have made the decision to go natural…again. Last time natural lasted 14 months, this time I am hoping to make it a permanent life style change. This is my natural hair journey and what I am learning along the way.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
